The cliffs are a Signature Point on the Wild Atlantic Way and are said to be the one of the highest and finest marine cliffs in Europe. To fully enjoy the spectacle of Sliabh Liag it is best to leave the car at the car park and walk the few miles to the cliffs so as not to miss the exciting scenery of the area. The Cliffs can also be viewed from the sea with a charter boat operating from nearby Teelin (16km).

The location was perfect. Only a few minutes walk to the Silver Strand beach. This beach is absolutely stunning, perfectly surrounded by breathtaking cliffs. The children and I braved the sea which was perfectly clear and enjoyed swimming and body boarding. The cottage was clean and very well equipped. Enjoyed the view from the cottage overlooking Rathlin O'Birne!
